Bleed, Patch, And Keep Moving - An Apex Legends Story

Chapter 25 - Just Go Away

It was hard for Octavio to sit as still as he did. It had been a very long time since he had been confined to one place. He watched as the afternoon light washed over Ajay's face and body. He knew in his heart that there was nowhere else that he would rather be then right here with her. He actually wasn't hating this slow paced stay in bed type situation. He was rather comfortable with this beautiful woman laying naked across him.

It had been a few hours since he had stimmed her and patched her up. The color was already returning to her soft skin. She felt warm again, even her pulse felt stronger. Octavio couldn't help but stare as the light graced her gorgeous body. His fingers played with her hair; it was so much longer than it was when he had last seen her. She looked so much different too. She had definitely grown up a lot.

Ajay fingertips ran along Octavio's arm as she began to wake up. She pried her eyes open and tried to make sense of her surroundings. She felt like someone had piled a ton of bricks on top of her. As she sat up she felt like she was fighting to push all of the bricks off of her; like they were weighing her down. She was fully convinced that someone had left bricks in her bed.

She shifted her weight to her right hip and leaned onto her right hand. She rubbed her eyes in an attempt to get the world back into focus. The cool air from her sent chills along her skin as the blankets fell from her body. Octavio could see all of the color rush to her face as his eyes traveled along all of her naked curves. "Silva?"

Her brain couldn't fully comprehend why Octavio was in her bed. When she realized that she was naked, she panicked and quickly grabbed the sheet. She wrapped the sheet around herself and tumbled out of bed onto the floor. The sheet padded most of her fall but it still took her a moment to adjust her sore body before she stood up straight. Ajay was about to yell at Octavio but when she looked down at him, he was splayed out naked in front of her on her bed.

Ajay had inadvertently taken the only thing covering both of them and was now using it to cover herself. She didn't know if her face could turn a darker shade of red but if it could then it would have right at that moment. She quickly turned around and tried to hide her face. She looked over to see his clothing draped across the nearby chair. "Why are his clothes off? What in da fuck happen last night..."

Octavio laughed at her reaction, "Damn Che, that's harsh. That hasn't happened to me in a very long time." He wasn't lying about that part. When she didn't say anything to him he continued to tease her, "Come on Che. It's not like you haven't see me naked before." Ajay grabbed his clothes and threw them at him, "Get dressed and get outta here."

She couldn't look at him because she didn't want him to see the embarrassment plastered all over her face. He was right though, she had seen him at his worst and naked. She had seen every single inch of his body on many occasions; even before he had prosthetics. "So why is dis any different? GET YUH SHIT TOGETHA! DID YUH SLEEP WIT HIM?"

After that last thought she couldn't make eye contact with him because what if they had in fact slept together. She had been so mad at him for so long and if she had threw all of the pain and heartache away for a one night stand because she was fucked up on drugs and alcohol, then she could never live it down. Octavio was still laying naked in her bed. 

He stared intently at her body; he did not have a problem seeing her naked. He shifted his gaze over to Ajay's mirror. He smiled when he noticed that he could see her face in the mirror. Octavio didn't think that his smile could get any bigger but he felt like his face was going to break from smiling when he saw how red her face was in the mirror. He wondered why she was being so shy; it was almost like they were teenager again.

His gaze only lingered a little bit longer before he sat up and stretched. He quickly got his shorts and shirt on, "Okay Che. I'm dressed." He struck a pose as she peeked over her shoulder at him to make sure that he wasn't messing with her like he normally did. "Good, now get out." Octavio dropped his shoulders, "Not happening Che." She turned around with the sheet clutched to her chest, "I'm not messin round wit dis boy. It's time ta leave Silva." Her face was no longer red from blushing it was red from anger.
